Patented Dec.. 11, 191th Application vmed August u, 1917. Serial No.1%,014

To all whom it may concern."

Be it known that l, @scan Fl.' LsoN, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and State oflllinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in ToySpectacles, of which the following is a specication.

My invention relates to a new and useful toy spectacle constructionwhich will be of durable and economical design, and which will beadapted to adord considerable amusement in use. Other yobjects willappear hereinafter.

'llhe invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of partshereinafter described and claimed.

rlihe invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanyingdrawings forming a part of this specilication, and in which,

Figure 1 is a front elevation of a toy spectacle construction embodyingthe invention, the same being shown inhorizontal position or in aposition such as is assumed by the parts when the head of the user isheld erect,

Fi 2 and 3, views similar to Fig.. 1 showin the arrangement of the partswhen the device is tilted in either direction,

Fig. 4, `a rear elevation ofthe device,

Fig. 5, a section taken on line 5 5 of Fig. 4, and l e Fig. 6, a frontelevation of one of the guide members of the construction detached.

.llhe preferred form of construction as illustrated in the drawingscomprises two circular body members i which are connected by a bridge ornose piece 8 whereby the device may be applied to the nose of a user, aswill be readily understood.

F he members 7 are formed with horizon taily elongated openings 9 of aform corresponding with the opening or slit of the human e e. At therearward side of each is provided a disk 10 having a channel 11 formedtherein which registers with the corresponding opening A. The disks 10are secured to the members 7 by means of turned back ears or lugs 12formed upon the latter, ears or lugs 13 being formed upon themembers 10which close the ends of channels 11.

lt/founted in each of the channels 11 is a disk 14 designed and coloredto correspond with the pupil and iris ofthe human eye. lFhe dime 14 arearranged, as seen, for espesura at the openings 9, the arrangement beingsuch that said disks are freely slidable or shiftable relative to saidopenings, this relative shifting of the disks 14 having the appearanceofy shifting of the eyes or gaze of the user. Said disks 14 will becomparatively heavy so as to permit of the ready shifting of the sameupon tilting of the device, the shifting `of said members beingillustrated in Figs. 2 and 3. rFhe arrangement is such that the guidechannels 11 are inclined slightly toward each other when the device isheld horizontal, or the head of the user erect, in which position themembers 14 will be positioned at the inner terminals of said guidechannels as seen in Fig. 1. With this arrangement, then, it will be seenthat the user of the device may edect apparent shifting of the eyes orgaze by simply tilting the head from side to side. rlhe effect of thismovement of the members 14 is very amusing.

While li have illustrated and described the preferred form ofconstruction for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable ofvariation and modication without departing from the spirit of theinvention. l,

. therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details ofconstruction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variationsand modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims.

Having described my invention what lf claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent is:

l. A toy spectacle construction comprising a pair of members operativelyconnected together, said members having openings therein; and shiftablymounted elements arranged for exposure at said openings, substantiallyas described.w

2. A toy spectacle construction comprising a pair of members operativelyconnected together, said members having openings therein; vshiftablymounted elements aru ranged for exposure at said openings; and means forguiding said elements in the shifting thereof, substantially asdescribed.

3. A toy spectacle construction comprising a pair of members operativelyconnected. together, said memoers having openings therein;guideichambers provided at the rearward sides of said members; andshiftably mounted elements `arranged in said chambers for exposure atsaid openings, substantially as described 4. A toy spectacleconstruction comprising a pair of members operatively connectedYtherein; comparatively shallow guide charnbers provided at the rearwardsides of said members; and elements loosely mounted in said chambers forexposure at said openings, substantially as described.

6. A toy spectacle construction comprising a pair of members operativelyconnected together, said members having openings therein; comparativelyshallow guide chambers provided at the rearward sides of said members;and comparatively thin disks slidably mounted insaid chambers forexposure at said openings, substantially as described.

7. A toy spectacle construction comprising a pair of members operativelyconnected together, said members having openings therein; shiftablymounted elements arranged for exposure at said openings; and means forguiding said elements in the shifting thereof, the guiding meanscoperatin with said members being normally inclined toward each otherwhereby said elements normally assume, by gravity, positions at theadjacent ends of said guides, when the device is held horizontal,substantially as described.

8. A toy spectacle construction comprising two spaced circular membershaving openings horizontally elongated; a bridge connecting saidmembers; channeled guides at the rearward sides of said membersregistering with said openings; and disks slidably mounted in saidguides for exposure at said openings, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
